The Biden administration hasn’t been shy about its climate goals.
Chief among them is increasing the number ofelectricandhybrid vehiclesbeing sold by US automakers to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The EPA outlined these standards and estimates in a1,181-page documenton its website.

Automakers have nearly a decade to figure out how to get more EVs on the road.
In the interim, though, people seem to be willing to at least switch to a hybrid.
